Will be trying this ASAP. Love meals that can be frozen, and this looks scrumptious.

This sounds great and not too unhealthy either – I can’t eat bacon but would be interested in trying it without, maybe add something else instead like some cannelli beans.

Lentils are full of iron and are cheaper than meat these days and the sausage addition is fantastic
Great recipe thank you for sharing

A good soup for the lovers of sausages and bacon – a hearty Winter soup for sure – perfect with crusty bread. I love making homemade bread and eating it with chunky soup.
